**Last Updated 4:30 p.m. **We’re entering the final stretch of October Prime Day. Save for a different name, you’ll still find deals across every category, including Prime Day AirPods deals. A bunch of new Apple products launched in the past few weeks, and most of them are on sale.
If you’re looking for a new pair of cans, we’ve rounded up the best Prime Day AirPods deals, including discounts on Beats, AirPods’ cousins. They’re owned by Apple and share a lot of the same tech, but they call soda “pop” for some weird reason. Even better, now that Prime Day has officially launched, the new AirPods Max 2 and Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian headphones are on sale, too. We’ve also been hearing rumors for a long time that $99 AirPods are coming in 2024. If the new pods do drop below $100, you’ll be the second to know. (We’ll be the first.)
For every other worthwhile deal on our radar, head over to our massive list of the best Prime Big Deal Day sales. And while you’re at it, make sure you receive all our shopping intel from hereon forward and subscribe to the GQ Recommends newsletter.

The Best Prime Days AirPod Deals To Shop Right Now
Apple
AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancelling
Day one of October Prime Day landed without a deal on the new ANC earbuds from Apple, but we had a feeling it was coming. The brand-new AirPods come with and without noise cancelling, but this is the version we recommend—unless you have a bad habit of losing your earbuds.
Apple
AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds
Fresh off the assembly line, the newest AirPods come with and without noise-cancelling. If you want to grab them on sale, you’ll have to live without ANC. Still, they’re sweat and water resistant, have a new Apple H2 chip, and run for 30 hours before zonking out.
Apple
AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C
The latest Pro model got a small update last year. Now, they don’t just come with premium Active Noise Cancellation, but an era-appropriate USB-C connector.
Apple
AirPods 3 with Lightning
Not quite as old-school as the AirPods Max, these earbuds are showing their age. It’s hard to make an argument for buying these over the AirPods 4, at least until the price drops below $119. For those stuck on Lightning cables, these are the buds you’re looking for.
Apple
AirPods Max Headphones with Lightning
The original AirPods Max are genuinely old-school by now, but we still see them everywhere here in New York City. We’ve also seen the price drop below $400, and we’re hoping for a repeat.
Apple
AirPods Max Headphones with USB-C
The new AirPods Max 2 headphones—that’s the version with USB-C charging—aren’t that different from the originals. Apparently, Apple decided the design was so good it didn’t need to be changed. So, either Apple got it right the first time, or they’re getting lazy. But if you need new headphones to go along with your new iPhone 16, opt for the new version.
Beats
Studio Buds Wireless Earbuds
These buds have since been replaced by the Beats Studio Buds +, but don’t count ’em out. You can wear them while you work out in the rain and enjoy noise cancelling goodness while you do.
Beats
Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds
For athletes tired of picking up their earbuds off the ground, these hook hearbuds offer all-day battery life in addition to a secure fit and a steep markdown.
Beats
Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian
Get these before the price gougers do! These skin-tone headphones got a surprising 46% discount for Prime Big Deal Days. The fashionable pair has ANC and 40 hours of battery, and unlike AirPods, they play nicely with Android devices, too.
Beats
Solo 4 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
The best AirPods deals max out at 28%. Others are best described as “measly.” Beats sees your puny discounts and raises you to 50% off. The new Solo 4 cans can go two whole days without a recharge (50 hours in total). That’s not quite the longest battery life in the business, but it’s close.
